John Calvin Commentary 1 Corinthians 15:23

"But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ`s, at his coming." — 1 Corinthians 15:23 (ASV)

Every one in his own order. Here we have an anticipation of a question that might be proposed: “If Christ’s life,” someone might say, “draws ours along with it, why does this not appear? Instead, while Christ has risen from the grave, we lie rotting there.” Paul’s answer is that God has appointed another order of things. Let us therefore consider it enough, that we now have in Christ the first-fruits, and that his coming will be the time of our resurrection. For our life must still be hid with him, because he has not yet appeared. (Colossians 3:3–4) It would therefore be preposterous to wish to anticipate that day of the revelation of Christ.
